  1. After mentions of egg & chips in my post about gas cookers I've started a thread on it.... I LOVE egg & chips,to me it's a comfort food & so simple to cook. Sometimes I buy a bag of chips from the chippy & fry a couple of eggs, might have to warm the chips up in the microwave but hey so what. Mam would often give us egg & chips when I was a kid, wonder what the health police would make of that nowadays?

  3. In addition to afore mentioned Colly0410, I'll respectfully add my bit. Sure I've said this before, but I would almost kill for egg, chips and corned beef. Perfect if it's got gravy added, then it's favourite meal of all time. I know the diehards will ridicule but I don't care, it's lovely ! Made even better with a slice of bread and butter.

  4. I eat cakes and other things made with eggs. I even eat egg fried rice. Its just the actual egg per se which turns my stomach. Too old to start eating them now.

  5. Try a scrambled egg Phil, you might find you like it, especially with a bit of grated Cheddar (mature of course).

  7. I’m curious to discover what an egg tastes like but I would probably throw up before I put it into my mouth.

  8. I have a boiled egg for breakfast every morning (free range, of course) with granary toast. I like omelettes, too. Quiches (home made), egg custards (home made except for the puff pastry), even poached eggs which, as a child, I always referred to as perched eggs.

  10. Must say BK that sounds absolutely disgusting. Do you have custard on your kippers as well?

  11. I’ll eat anything. Even foreign food! However the thought of eating eggs in any shape or form turns my stomach. Don’t know why. Mind you, tripe’s pretty disgusting as well!

  12. I'm told all it would do is give you a bad headache! I haven't tried it. I get bored very quickly and, besides, it's now too bl**dy expensive!

  13. Oz you're wasting your time (and money) if you want to top yourself by putting your head in the gas oven these days. You might still blow yourself to bits but you wouldn't die from inhalation. It would have worked in the past when the supply was coal gas which had a high carbon monoxide content. Nowadays North Sea Gas (methane) won't poison you and neither will propane or butane. These gases are all normally odourless which would make them undetectable by smell and increasing the explosion risk compared to the old coal gas. The producers add an odouriser so you can smell them. Putt

  14. I love egg and chips. I often order it when we're out. Takes me back to my mum's meals. She often did fried sausage and mash and she would pour the hot liquid lard out the frying pan onto the mash. Not very healthy but quite delicious. Bubble and squeak on Mondays using up the greens and mash from Sunday. Often with cold meat also from the Sunday roast dinner. HP sauce or piccalilli on the side. Apparently George Harrison was quite miffed when The Beatles became famous and always dined in the best hotels and restaurants and he couldn't get egg and chips which was has favourite too.

  15. Mines gas, well propane, there' si no natural gas lines way out in the country areas over here. Wise in rural areas to not have your eggs in one basket due to power outages caused by the weather, although we don't get too many, but they can be long after a tornado has knocked down a load of power poles, or that once in a lifetime ice storm, which can leave you without power for several days.

  16. When I looked I found that a lot of them were out of stock or on a long lead time. They’re obviously becoming popular because of the alleged energy cost saving. No doubt, like most things, they’re made in China. I found a suitable one on the John Lewis site and collected it from Waitrose the next day

  17. At 12 litres it will not and cannot be too big. There is more chance that a smaller one won't be big enough.

  18. @trogg, just had a look on Google at your air fryer and found they were about 61quid. I love the rotisserie basket, means you can do your chips with having to stop to turn them. Can I assume that you can do ready meals on the trays that come with the unit. I think that at 12L, it may be too big for us. Many thanks for help. That goes for you too Pianoman. B.

  20. Beekay I purchased it from Amazon the Daewoo 12L Rotisserie Air Fryer it was £104, the wife uses it all the time. Like Phil I seem to buy all things for the wife such as Bread makers and they usually end up hid away in cupboards of disposed of, but not this it saves time and electricity.
